I found this Politico
article pretty
interesting when I read it this morning, especially where Pelosi had to
march Harry Reid out by the scruff of the neck to keep his head from
doing a 360. He's furious that Republicans are only talking
short-term debt ceiling at best. Just after I read it, Roll
Call
reported that Obama will veto any short term extension. Democrats
want spending maintained through the 2012 election. How obvious
can
they get?

But there was something else that's been bugging me. This.

John and Mary
are spoiled Gen-X brats who are used to having stuff now. While John earns a mid six-figure
income, they are drowning in debt. Finally, unable to
sleep at night, they've decided to
get a grip. They'll have to sell their home in Potomac, MD and
move to Prince George's County, where homes are cheaper and his
commute to work much shorter. Their daughters, age 13 and 15, are
still crying hysterically as we speak with the news that Bullis Prep is
out, and public school in. Mary, a proliferate spender,
sobs as well while taking scissors to about a dozen credit cards.
Depending on what their home sells for, John figures that they can
become solvent in from 5 to 8 years. He calls his mortgage
company, bank, credit card companies and other debtors and petitions
them. He assures that monthly interest payments will be paid
promptly, with payment on the principal rationed for the time
being. Here's the responses.

The Mortgage Holder: "Yes, but only
if you take out a third mortgage with us."The
Credit Card Company: "Yes, but only if you increase your average
monthly purchases,"The
Car Loan Company: "Yes, but only if you trade in for a
new Mercedes S600 sedan."Mookys
Rating Se vice: Unless you take out additional loans in
order to keep spending up, your credit rating will be lowered and
you'll have to get credit from Crazy Al's Finance.

With rating
agencies warning about downgrading the United States’ credit, which
could lead to a surge in interest rates and a shock to the markets, (if
the debt limit isn't raised)

”

Am I missing
something? I'm not the only one at sea here, pretty sure of
that. Remember, we
are in good shape when it comes to meeting our interest obligations -
as long as we sell the Mercedes, send the kids to public school, and
quit hiring pool-boys and French chefs. So
what's with the threats from ratings services like Moodys and
S&P? Raise your debt limit or else ... .?Real Question

Random thoughts about something a lot of
people I know and like care much more about than me and made me look at
stuff about Anders Behring Breivik

“

Supra, we all know that people on the
right Aslak Nore can forget about getting anything published. Believe
me, we have tried at all for years. We had of course had a greater
chance to penetrate the kulturmarxistiske press censorship if any of us
had had a Somali background, or was an Egyptian copter but I am
unfortunately not:). You must also remember that there is no free press
in Norway. Aftenposten was the ONLY culture conservative newspaper in
Norway, but they were known as the coup of kulturmarxister in
1972.
100% of the national mediacompanies now support multiculturalism full
heart and none of these will help to underminethis ideology. It should
at least be mentioned that the situation improves drastically from the
man is 18 years. The reason is that most of the Muslims I spoke not
have grades to get into good VGS.

I'm not that familiar with Norwegian politiks,
or even Europe's— which approximately 50 states I view as 50 Northern
Californias.

It would appear from Breivik's writings
that if Norway had FOX News, i.e. a news source reporting news ignored
by their kulturmarxistiske press,
this may not have boiled over. Just now. The way it did.
There is nothing worse than government
scripted news
(except maybe government
scripted educators), and we
Americans at least have some alternatives. I mean, what the hell,
I'd still throw
the entire Washington press corps down a volcano in a heartbeat, and
with salutary effect.

Charles Johnson has much in common with Newt
Gingrich. Like Newt,
he performed a valuable
service to our Republic, only to later become a confused blathering
idiot. . "Kilgore
Trout," the moderator of LGF (Charles?) is another left-wing hack
who holds Pamela
Geller (as a stand-in for conservative bloggers) responsible
for what happened.

Leftist sighs of relief that Anders
Behring Breivik was not another leftwing J.
Loughner are audible.

The left will, and probably have, compare
Anders Behring Breivik with Timothy James McVeigh. And they'd be
right.

The left is so afraid of Obama-Hitler
comparisons they resurrected a perversion of Godwin's
Law— in the same
manner they discovered (actually,
manufactured) Dwight Eisenhower's adultery to absolve Clinton. (Hey, I said random thoughts)

I don't care about Anders
Behring Breivik anymore. Not with Obamunistas running free.
Throw them all down a volcano.
